Regarding cutting our losses and trying another program, we're talking at least $20,000 in loans taken out to pay for school plus expenses for this semester alone. To start at another school and have to take all their courses and wait even longer to get what I may have in less than 8 months is the last thing I want to do. If I fail out, of course I'll look for other options. At this point, since I've already suffered through 1/3 of the program, I might as well try to finish it. moo0909: I wrote this post right after our disastrous Communications test. That was the last straw for me! Also, thanks for summarizing all the problems better than I did. I was too delirious with fatigue and disappointment to write more coherently. One more thing to mention, they told us this past weekend a final we were supposed to have next week would be today. Who changes the finals schedule 5 days before a test?! These people are nuts.

Well considering I've never been to nursing school prior to this semester, I really had no idea what to expect. Clearly it was more difficult than I had anticipated. There is no tutoring for TC and Fundamentals, they've been really unhelpful. That is what I was tying to convey. I'm not even failing. I just think it's ridiculous when half the class is failing and the most they've done is to tell us we'll be dropped from the program if we do fail...which is the other thing I was trying to convey--their lack of sympathy and caring.

i had high hopes for this program, but it's been disorganized from the second i got accepted (i didn't even get my acceptance letter!). we've been told it's because they just re-wrote the program, but others say it's always been this way. considering you'll be paying over $50,000 for the whole year, you'd expect a little more. if it was just the disorganization, perhaps i could deal. however, half the class is failing courses like therapeutic communications and fundamentals of nursing. these are not supposed to be the tough courses. pathophysiology and pharmacology i expect to be tough, but they make the tests for tc and fundamentals ridiculously confusing. when people expressed concerns about failing the woman who runs the program, dr. *********, is completely uncaring and told them they'd be dropped from the program if they got lower than a 77 average in any class (77 is failing). they are so unhelpful in this program and make the students feel uncared for. almost everyone in my class regrets being in this program. the only thing i can do is warn others. do not make the same mistake as us. also, our class is full of a lot of smart people. we worked really hard to be in this program. some people have degrees in things like engineering, forensic science, biochemistry, etc. the problem is not us! note: please refrain from posting the real names of instructors, directors, and other people.
